Please consult your packing slip and purchase order to insure that you have received all of the expected Telecast Fiber Systems components. Inspect all components for scratches and other mechanical damage, and inspect the electrical connectors for bent or damaged pins and latches. Report any missing or damaged components to Telecast Fiber Systems, Inc. See the following section regarding product returns. You must use your own video and audio cables to make connections for Video, Tally, Black Burst/Genlock, Base Station monitor, intercom, and other ancillary signals and equipment. Suggestions for these cables are discussed later in this User Guide.

The CopperHead Pro Camera Unit is typically mounted to a camera that is placed in a studio, theatre, sports venue, or other live-event location. The systems Base Station is usually located in a truck, control room or other video production control area. When dry fiber is used (typically lightweight tactical fiber cable), the signals are transmitted bidirectionally, over distances as long as 5 km or more. When hybrid fiber cable is used, the link also provides power to the Camera Unit and the camera itself.

HD/SDI, genlock, intercom, and control signals, plus up to 95 Watts of continuous 12VDC Power
The maximum range of the system is nominally 240 meters (787 feet)* when drawing 95 watts at the camera, but distances will vary depending on total power draw at the PowerWafer, as shown in Figure 6.
* The maximum operational cable length varies due to optical loss that can depend on cable quality, dirt/dust/contamination on connectors, and the number of cable connectors. When using hybrid cables for camera power, the size of the hybrid cable, as well as the power draw of the camera, lens, viewfinder, and other accessories are also factors.

The first part of the fiber run can be made via dry tactical or infrastructure fiber, after which the HDX power supply is placed in line to provide powered SMPTE hybrid fiber cable for the camera. Such a system is typically configured as shown in Figure 8 and includes the following components: A. Camera Unit F. Tactical fiber or Infrastructure fiber run B. PowerPlus G. HDX Power Supply C. CHCR camera remote cable H.SMPTE 311M hybrid fiber optic cable* D. DC-powered Base Station*. I. ADAP 12VDC power supply E.

The system is delivered from the factory configured as requested by the end-user or dealer. An adhesive label on the rear of the unit indentifies the factory setting (C-C, RTS1, RTS2, 4W). Four-Wire Interface: This is used to connect Base Station to four-wire intercom systems such as matrix-style systems.

5.9. Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting any technical issues with the CopperHead Pro Transceiver System is similar to any piece of television production gear with the obvious exception of the core Fiber Optic technology. Here is a list of things to look out for and check some of them obvious but sometimes forgotten. 1. Check the LINK indicators at each end of the system. They should be illuminated GREEN if there is good fiber optic connectivity for the non-SDI signals (VBS/sync, camera control, intercom, tally). 2. Check the SDI indicator at the CopperHead Pro Base Station. It should be illuminated GREEN if there is good fiber optic connectivity for the SDI signal. 3. If the LINK or SDI indicators are not GREEN, there is likely low optical power between Camera Unit and Base Station. The following actions may remedy this situation: a. Insure that all fiber optic connectors are clean. Clean fiber optic connectors are a requirement for reliable connectivity between fiber optic components like your CopperHead transceivers. Any contamination in the fiber connection, even microscopic dust particles, can cause link loss and adversely affect the operational functionality of your CopperHead equipment. For more information on the care and maintenance of your fiber optic connectors, please refer to www.telecast-fiber.com. b. Examine the entire length of the fiber cable and see that it is in intact and has no damage or severe bends or kinks. c. Confirm that all fiber optic connectors are connected securely. 4. If optical power is good, but signals are not being received: a. Check all of your copper cables (coax) and connectors (BNC) for damage. b. Confirm signal type is on the proper signal path It is possible to physically connect analog signals to digital signal paths on the CopperHead Pro Transceiver System. However, signals will not pass through the system unless they are the correct type. An SDI signal will not pass through the Analog or VBS paths and an Analog signal will not pass through an SDI path. If the wrong type of signal is incorrectly connected, the signal LED indicator may illuminate, but no signal will pass through. 5. Base Station power problems: a. 12VDC Base Station: Check that the DC power supply is functioning correctly and connected securely. 6. 110/220 VAC Base Station: Check the fuses. Do not try to multiplex the CopperHead Pro with other fiber optic devices. The CopperHead Pro system is not readily compatible with any active or passive CWDM technologies, including Telecasts TelePort and TeleThon systems.

Tactical fiber cables are extremely strong, lightweight, and rugged cables designed for harsh environment (military and commercial) deployment & retrieval applications. The internal glass fiber optic cores are protected by a woven aramid (Kevlar) strength member, making them able to withstand a variety of environmental hazards such as being crushed or run-over. They are available in core counts of 1, 2, 4, 6, and 12. CopperHead systems require a minimum of two cores. Using a totally non-metallic design for electrical isolation; they are impervious to noise & grounding issues. Tactical Fiber can be used in the field mounted on lightweight reels in lengths up to 2000 feet or longer

Hybrid fiber cable has two fiber optic cores, with the addition of six copper wires, providing for the transmission of power through the cable in order to provide power to the camera. These copper wires increase the size (diameter) and weight of the cable, and make the cable more fragile than Tactical cable, as well as making them susceptible to noise and grounding issues.

The overall link margin (or dynamic range) of the CopperHead Pro system (the difference between the transmitters output power and the receivers sensitivity) is typically 15dB (fifteen dee-bee). That margin is consumed by two main factors: a) Optical loss over the length of the fiber cable: typically 0.5dB per kilometer b) Optical loss at connection points: typically 1 dB per connector Therefore, a CopperHead Pro system can optimally work over 24 kilometers of cable (spending 12 dB of the link budget), and three connectors (spending 3 dB of the budget). However, adding additional devices, such as the HDX or MPS power supply, or the camera-mounted PowerPlus will add connectors to the path, and therefore contribute additional connector loss. The SDI indicator at the CopperHead Pro Base Station illuminates GREEN when the measured optical power at Base Station is -20dBm or better, which is the minimum power requirement for 3.0 Gb/s SDI data. See Appendix F for the optical power requirement for your particular SDI data signal.
*The unit dBm is an abbreviation for the optical power measured in decibels referenced to one milliwatt (mW).
